Part 8 EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS AND MAINTENANCE Following are important instructions and information concerning the exhaust requirements for your dryer. ! Important Warning: To reduce the risk of fire, combustion, or accumulation of combustible gases, DO NOT exhaust dryer air into an enclosed and unventilated area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling, crawl space, chimney, gas vent, or concealed space of a building. To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT exhaust the dryer with plastic or thin foil ducting.

Venting materials are not provided with the dryer and you should obtain the necessary venting materials locally. For example, the outer end of exhaust pipe must have a weather hood with hinged dampers to prevent back-draft when the dryer is not in use. 2. The exhaust duct must be four inches (10.2 cm) in diameter with no obstructions. The exhaust duct should be kept as short as possible. Make sure to clean any old ducts before installing your new dryer. 3. Rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting is recommended for use as transition ducting between the dryer and and the wall. In special installations when it is impossible to make a connection with the above recommendations, then a UL-listed flexible metal transition duct may be used between the dryer and wall connection only. The use of this ducting will affect dry time. 4. DO NOT use sheet metal screws on exhaust pipe joints or other fastening means which extend into the duct that could catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct tape. 5. To maximize operating results, please observe the duct length limitations noted in the chart above. 2 1

Part 8
EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS AND MAINTENANCE
Following are important instructions and information concerning the exhaust requirements for your dryer.
Important Warning:
To reduce the risk of fire, combustion, or accumulation of combustible gases, DO NOT
exhaust dryer air into an enclosed and unventilated area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling, crawl space, chimney, gas
vent, or concealed space of a building.
To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT exhaust the dryer with plastic or thin foil
ducting.
Exhaust Requirements and Instructions:
1. Venting materials are not provided with the dryer
and you should obtain the necessary venting
materials locally.
For example, the outer end of
exhaust pipe must have a weather hood with hinged
dampers to prevent back-draft when the dryer is not
in use.
2. The exhaust duct must be four inches (10.2 cm) in
diameter with no obstructions.
The exhaust duct
should be kept as short as possible. Make sure to
clean any old ducts before installing your new dryer.
3. Rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting is recommended
for use as transition ducting between the dryer and
and the wall. In special installations when it is
impossible to make a connection with the above
recommendations, then a UL-listed flexible metal
transition duct may be used between the dryer and
wall connection only. The use of this ducting will
affect dry time.
4. DO NOT use sheet metal screws on exhaust pipe
joints or other fastening means which extend into
the duct that could catch lint and reduce the
efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints
with duct tape.
5. To maximize operating results, please observe the
duct length limitations noted in the chart above.
